Okay, I posted something. Since Iââ‚¬™m ââ‚¬Ëœsomeoneââ‚¬™ I guess you got your wish.
Goodbye, have a nice day, see you around.

Btw, the second disc, from what I have read by others, since I have the DVD version, is only needed when you install in a different language then English; itââ‚¬™s nothing more then the language CD. As for your game problems, I refer you to this post:

Since you say that the game was working fine before now, my guess would be that the problem is something different. Maybe some other software you installed. Not saying that you shouldnââ‚¬™t have installed other software, or even that this is the problem, just saying that it can be the problem.

Again, please remember that this is just me guessing, I have no technical knowledge of drivers and all that, just have read quite some of the posts here.....

That might be your problem right there, actually. It might very well be that you old drivers worked just fine, and were supported. You upgraded to new drivers (a normal and smart thing to do in all other circumstances then dealing with H5) and this new driver is NOT supported by the game.

So it might actually be the updating of the drivers.
As for the multiplayer crashing... multiplayer is SO bugged that you can basically say that there is no multiplayer. In fact, the major thing patch 2 is supposed to address is fixing the multiplayer. Yes, that tells a lot about how bugged it is, the biggest thing supposed to be fixed in the patch is the multiplayer. Great, right? (Insert highly sarcastic tine with last two words.)

I know this is a hard thing to hear at the moment, but really my best suggestion would be to wait. Wait for patches that finally fix the game until it plays like it should. Donââ‚¬™t worry, you wonââ‚¬™t be alone in the waiting, I have been waiting for two months on my promised map editor, and havenââ‚¬™t played the game for a couple of weeks already.

Actually, in that regard you are lucky, the multiplayer is supposed to get fixed with the next patch. Since the contents of the patch is already know, (hopeful) guesses are that itââ‚¬™s going to be released soon. I for one have to wait even longer. The map editor is promised with the third patch. If they are as fast with that as they are with the second patch, I could be waiting for 1-2 months yet.

Oh, joy.
